Description:
------------
This is a request for adding another flag (FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_ARRAY) to filter extension to allow both arrays and scalars for input, while retaining their type (as opposed to FILTER_FORCE_ARRAY, which can accept scalars, but will return an array).

So if input is array, return an array, and if scalar, return scalar.
It seems pretty basic.

Test script:
---------------
$test = filter_input(INPUT_GET, "a", FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_ARRAY);
var_dump($test);

Expected result:
----------------
test.php?a=1
int(1)

test.php?a[]=1&a[]=2
array (2) { [0] => int(1), [1] => int(2) }

Actual result:
--------------
FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_ARRAY not implemented ;)

I can't filter an array value (comming from a set of checkboxes) with input_filter. 
Reproduction:
var_dump($_POST['options'], filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'options'));
Result:
 array(2) {
  [1]=>
  string(5) "first"
  [2]=>
  string(6) "second"
}
bool(false)
